Mountains, "Blue Lanterns on East Oxford"

“Blue Lanterns on East Oxford,” off Mountains’ 2011 album Air Museum, is a slow drifter of a tune that gets a literal visual interpretation courtesy of the band’s own Koen Holtkamp. The nature-absorbed imagery provides a perfectly hypnotic complement to the band’s ambient tones, described by The Wire as, “Infinite sheets of grainy sound build and renew themselves to immensely pleasing effect.” Yep.
